Mountain View, CA -- January 9, 2018 -- Amazfit, one of the largest wearable device companies globally, today announced the availability of its two new premium multisport GPS smartwatches, Amazfit Stratos and Amazfit Stratos + (Sapphire), as well as their partnership with Firstbeat, to enable VO2max fitness level detection and training analysis.

Going beyond simple heart rate monitoring, the Amazfit Stratos cements its status as a premium fitness device with a variety range of cutting-edge fitness and performance metrics and features powered by the integrated Firstbeat heart rate analytics engine. This means users can benefit from the same high-quality personalized training insights used in the NHL, NBA and NFL.

“In the world of elite sport, there has been a long trend towards personalization, training based on what works best for each individual athlete,” said Aki Pulkkinen, Director of Consumer Technology at Firstbeat. “To be truly useful, a fitness wearable needs to provide feedback and information that is relevant to you, personally, and that has been achieved here.”

With the Amazfit Stratos, you can see how fit you are today, monitor trends, and gain motivation with automatic cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) detection during running and walking activities. This vital information is also used to scientifically personalize your training programs and to deliver guidance that ensures your efforts match your goals.

Meanwhile, Training Load keeps track of the combined physiological impact of your activities over the past 7 days.
